Browns to release WR Josh Gordon

Indicating the release of Gordon will not take place until Monday, the Browns have been fielding trade calls for the services of the wide receiver.

"For the past six years, the Browns have fully supported and invested in Josh, both personally and professionally and wanted the best for him, but unfortunately we've reached a point where we feel it's best to part ways and move forward". Gordon reportedly had told the team his hamstring was bothering him. The Cleveland Brownsannounced they would release Gordon on Saturday and the reasons why are beginning to trickle out. "If the guy wants to play football, he needs to get into camp sooner than later". He went on to play just five games over the next three years due to various suspensions for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Selected in the second round of the 2012 Supplemental Draft, Gordon exploded onto the scene during his second year, recording 87 catches for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns during the 2013 season.
